You know how you are always talking about dreams? I had some really strange ones last night. The most scary one was that my first wife was sitting really close to me and just chatting pleasantly away and whispering in my ear. I woke up in fear.
I'm bummed. This morning I started the task of putting some of my XWs stuff away. She moved into a really small place so left alot behind. Obviously I couldn't put the piano away, but I took down some family pics of all of us together and a lot of her little decorative things. As hard as it was I took down pictures of her kids as well and boxed them up to give to her. The wedding rings went into a drawer. Don't know what I'll do with them.
My heart is aching today and I don't think that Beth is going to actually come over with the wine to cheer me up. I guess I'll get busy with the yard and then do something fun with the kids and take my mind off things. It will do me more good in the long run to put this stuff aside and maybe replace them with new stuff. I was also thinking it's about time I got a new family photo of me and the boys. The grim reality is my sons and I are the whole family once again.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
